The Hundred Thousand Places

Delicately looping across several distinct seasons through a variety of highland and island environments, this breathtakingly perceptive prose offers a unique and highly visualized perspective of the meandering Scottish landscape. Suggesting that the nature of walking is a state of continual waking, this reflective and enduring poem trails along the coast, over mountains and moorland, through pine and birch forests, all while remaining attentive and responsive to the stimuli encountered. Gentle lapses in concentration or a subtle pause in narrative prompt deep reflection in this beautifully composed traipse through the tangible landscapes of a distinctly rare imagination.
